Guide users through multi-step setup one action at a time

Setup Help turns a setup or installation task into a conversation with one action at a time and the remaining work visible. It guides the user in plain English through installing, configuring, or getting something working. Each response follows the same structure until the setup is complete, so the user can focus on the immediate action while retaining a view of what comes next.

The current step must be atomic: a single click, field, or command. Its instructions occupy one or two lines at most. If an action needs substeps, the skill splits it and moves the additional work into the remaining list. A divider separates the current action from a numbered list headed Still remaining. That list contains no more than eight items.

Use it when a user asks for step-by-step help with setup, installation, or configuration, especially when the process has multiple steps. The format suits a task where the user completes an action before receiving instructions for the next one. A request for the whole procedure's instructions in one response does not fit its rule to explain only the current step.

Before acting, verify local paths, available tools, credentials, and supported assistant features. For commands, remote access, scheduling, browser automation, or workflows that change files, the skill requires explicit user approval and confirmation of the target environment.

Before presenting the first step, the skill builds a complete canonical checklist using the user's outline, repository or documentation, the current screen, and any prerequisites it discovers. This checklist tracks every unfinished requirement internally, including work that cannot be shown individually within the display limit.

When more than eight steps remain, nearby steps stay separate and later steps merge into broader phase-level items. The limit changes how the work is presented; it does not allow a required step to disappear from tracking. If a new required step emerges during setup, the skill inserts it into the visible remaining list immediately, in the correct order.

Before every response, the skill audits the current step and remaining list against the canonical checklist. Any missing unfinished work must be restored before the response is sent. After the user finishes an action, the next remaining item becomes the current step, and the list updates to reflect completed work. When nothing remains, the response states that setup is complete instead of displaying another list.

The skill is for users who want concise guidance through a multistep setup. Short sentences and the absence of filler keep each instruction focused on the action to perform. Adapted from davidondrej/skills, Setup Help is distributed under the MIT license.
